The bikes stayed in the basement. We walked instead, which after six days of cycling felt simultaneously easier and harder — easier on the legs, harder on the feet, which are used to being passive. Florence does not require a plan. Every street contains something. We crossed the Arno four times from different bridges, each one giving a slightly different version of the same view, all of them good.
